Biography
Victor Stracci was born in Sicily in 1890, and he immigrated to the United States at a young age. Stracci was involved with crime in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, and he soon built a criminal organization of his own, the Stracci crime family. His family evolved out of the hauling company that his family had established, and his family's main focus was on legitimate businesses in New Jersey and Staten Island. He held traditionalist Catholic views, seeing prostitution as immoral; his family was also known to attack rival families without provocation.
